The girls were very interested in Megan. They asked where she was from and then asked me several times if I was her mother. I told them her story they all said how lucky she is. The little girl second from the left about broke my heart. I could read the why not me look in her eyes as I told them Megan's story. If only I could see that every child had a family.

A trip to the grocery store about broke the bank, but I am grateful for a stocked frig and pantry.

We have new neighbors with a little girl about Megan's age. She comes by to play often. I am not sure if it is a good thing or not. I have great memories playing with the kids on my street so I am trying to keep that in mind. :)

This is the best year for impatiens. I can't stop admiring the beauty of these.

Megan commented on a bird that keep flying into the grape arbor. Further investigation revealed a nest. I hope this bird doesn't think it has pulled up to a smorgasbord!

We attended an over the top party for one of Megan's friends. This jump was one of the many activities.

I enjoying sitting out and watching these bathing beauties in the evening.

A trip to the Children's Museum with cousins from Iowa.

One of our many family gatherings this summer.

Megan caught a frog!

Things have been busy. Hectic really. I am trying to savor the moments. I have missed posting and hope to make it a back to regular posting soon.
